Cleaner Collection Without Compromise.
For more than 30 years, Heil has engineered alternative fuel refuse bodies that help fleets lower emissions while delivering the strength, reliability, and productivity that haulers demand.
A Pioneer That Never Stops Innovating.
Heil helped shape alternative fuel refuse collection before most fleets had a practical path beyond diesel. From early CNG body innovations to today’s electric and fully integrated chassis/body platforms, Heil has spent more than 30 years engineering solutions that make cleaner collection dependable, efficient, and ready for demanding routes. That experience continues to guide every alternative fuel body Heil builds today.
Built Around Alternative Fuels. Not Just Compatible With Them.
Heil brings alternative fuel expertise to the half of the truck that does the work, the refuse body. Through groundbreaking innovations and close collaboration with the top OEM chassis manufacturers, Heil brings body and chassis together as one fully integrated platform. Not a refuse body simply mounted to a chassis, but a complete collection vehicle engineered to work as one machine.
In refuse collection, every lift, pack cycle, route mile, and hauled payload demand matters. For more than three decades, Heil has helped fleets lower emissions while preserving the productivity, safety, durability, and reliability they expect from every truck in their operation.
A Smarter Way To Run CNG.
While much of the industry places CNG tanks behind the cab or on top of the body, Heil’s engineers put them where they actually made sense. Moving fuel storage to the tailgate was a fundamental rethink that helped solve real challenges around safety, payload, service access, and vehicle performance.
Today, the CNrG Tailgate remains one of the clearest examples of Heil’s practical approach to alternative fuel innovation, engineered around the realities of collection routes, maintenance teams, and long-term fleet operations.
The Industry’s Only All-Electric Sideload Body
The RevAMP is the industry’s only all-electric automated sideload body, powered by its own independent battery. Because RevAMP operates independently from the chassis, it helps protect vehicle range on an EV truck, reduce fuel with diesel chassis, and delivery route productivity that fleets depend on every day.
RevAMP works with EV, diesel, and CNG chassis platforms, giving fleets a practical path to electrification on their own timeline. In real-world collection, the results are easy to see: quieter routes, cleaner operation, and up to 38% lower fuel consumption when mounted on a diesel chassis.
Engineering the Next Generation of Alternative Fuel Solutions
Thirty years of alternative fuel leadership is only a foundation, not a finish line.
Heil teams are actively working with top OEM chassis partners on the next generation of fuel solutions, including the electrification of front load refuse bodies, as well as hydrogen-powered automated side loaders.
The road ahead is full of possibility, and when those trucks hit the road, Heil will be the one who helped bring them to life.
